12:00 pm
president of american bridge about that in just a moment. we are also following the news out of ukraine as mitch mcconnell leads a group of republicans to meet with president zelenskyy. the timing of the surprise trip, however, offering a potential for embarrassment for the senate minority leader. if he is asked to explain to ukrainian leaders how one of his own gop colleagues's second will handedly holding up billions of dollars in the aid, for the war-ravaged nation. plus, former president trump, endorsing a controversial front runner just days before the pennsylvania primary. a primary when have seemingly been working hard to torpedo some of their more troubling candidates. then making a case to voters. all of that, and we are on the phone lines of a desperate search for her baby formula. i'm going to talk to a new mother who is also trying to help needy families find the process resource, for their infants. that is coming up. we want to begin though, with that breaking news that we've been following from the last
12:01 pm
hour. a small aircraft caught fire after crashing into a bridge in miami, this afternoon. you see some of the images there. officials saying that that plane possibly crashed into some vehicles on the bridge. miami authorities confirming at least two patients were transported to an area hospitals. a total of five people were involved in the crash. we are going to bring you updates on this, as we get more. those images are starting to see. want to go to our nation's capital, as well, thousands of demonstrators gathering in support of abortion rights to oppose the leaked supreme court draft decision that would overturn roe. it is one of more than 300 rallies happening across the country, right now. nbc's antonia hilton is following this for us, in washington d.c.. antonia, good to see you once again. i see that you have moved locations now as this rally is continuing to go on and throughout the day here. bring us up to date as to what more you are hearing from folks. >> hi yasmin. that's right, we are moving from the national mall right up
12:02 pm
to the steps of the supreme court. there are thousands of people here who have been gathering since about 11 am today. and as i've talked to people, the emotions are all over the place. when i talk to particularly younger women, there's a lot of anger, refusal to really believe that this leaked draft means that we are heading towards a post war world. when i talk to some of the older women, and older men who are here in the crowd today who remember a pre-road world, there is a lot of sadness and i think shock and feeling like. you know, they've kind of go full circle. back to where the u.s. was when they were young women. i met a woman as you know earlier, who had an abortion at 13. at 13, in a back ali in chicago. and with so, you know presently upset and traumatized by the fact that she had to go through that process when she was just 13 years old. but too many of the young people i've spoken to here today who are voters, who i think of now been re-energized.
12:03 pm
this is really shocked them and re-connected them to not just what's happening here in the capital, but in state houses across the country. take a listen to some of the conversations that i had earlier. >> we are losing our rights to our own bodies. that is wild. where in 2022, we are losing our rights to our bodies, so we need to get out and vote. that's the only way it's going to change. >> if i can protect myself, who is going to protect me? i have lost faith in the system, i've lost faith in the representatives. i know there are some out there who are actually going out and, they are looking out for us, and they want this to have these rights, and they want us to progress. but it is all political game. >> this is really been an intergenerational event. and there are men and women here, they're tellers, their grandparents here worried about the generations coming up behind them. but there are a consistent theme of conversation has been
12:04 pm
concerned for poor americans and every single state. because they say abortion is really not going to end. particularly the older generations remember what it was like before roe. they say abortion was here. the problem was that it wasn't safe, and was additionally challenging for poor people and people of color to access it. and that is the robot they are afraid we are going back to, frankly, in just a couple of weeks now yasmin. >> nbc's antonia hilton for us, thank you. we're gonna go from east to west. activists and protesters also speaking out in los angeles, in the fight for reproductive rights. nbc's scott cohen is joining us from there. scott, good to talk to you. once again, talk to us about what you're hearing there. >> you know, it is interesting jasmine, because california has really set itself up as a sanctuary in the words of a number the speakers here. for abortion rights. so reproductive readings are not in any immediate danger here in california. as we have heard from speaker after speaker after speaker.
12:05 pm
but they still have come out here to make their voices heard, and in the words of some of the people that we spoke to here, fight against some of the apathy that they say is what got us here. >> i remember some of my friends who are a political or whatever going, oh it's not gonna be so bad, it's not going to be so bad. and i will look at the right now in the eye and say, it's that bad guys. this is where we are, and i could've told you then this is where would be. >> if you live in a state that is a red state, you are not only not going to be allowed to have an abortion, you could be criminalized for doing so. it is possible you could even be arrested for trying, if you have the means to go to another state. if you order pills that end a pregnancy, you might even be able to be prosecuted for that. it is going to go back to what it was before roe. >> we have heard from a number of celebrities here today, this being los angeles. kristie law, directly, laketown
12:06 pm
he lawtey, talking about this battle on the personal struggles that they've dealt with and trying to get this crowd enthused. which they do seem to be, as they see the fight going on in california trying to secure rights and other states as well. the organizers had planned this rally for a couple of months before the leak decision came out. they say they were hoping for about 50,000 people. it doesn't seem to be quite that many, but still several thousand people in front of l.a. city hall trying to make their voices heard. yasmin. >> all right, scott cohn for us from los angeles. thank you scott. want to bring in now jessica floyd, president of the american bridge. back jessica, thanks for joining. us we appreciate. let's talk about some of what we just. heard i want to talk about some of what we just heard. from one woman that my colleague interviewed, and tony other in the ground, and kind of having this lack of trust when it comes to lawmakers and getting anything done. rightly so, of course because
12:07 pm
of what we saw happen over the last week in d.c. with the vote to codify roe, which didn't end up getting across the finish line. either they did away the filibuster at this point, it still wouldn't work. they wouldn't have a majority in place. do you have any hope, do you have any trust at this point in the system, and democratic lawmakers specifically, to get something done when it comes to codifying roe? >> look, i think the biggest point that was majoring that vote is that one hunted percent of the republicans who are in the senate right now, and had an opportunity to stand up for women, to stand up for families, to stand up for the majority of americans who don't want to see the rights taken away, voted against their own voters. they voted against americans. and so it gives me hope, is their democratic lawmakers around the country, and i think the reporting california made this point very clearly, where
12:08 pm
the democrats are in power, this is going to be an issue and a right that remains in place. and you are seeing this play out in guttural races around the country. you're seeing it play out in attorneys general races around the country. and so i have a lot of hope for where we can make sure that we are protecting the bodily autonomy of women, and sadly with voters, and sided with the majority of people in america. >> so obviously i know you're referring to getting rights when the state's constitution, for instance the efforts being made by a governor -- there in california. we have heard several or efforts colleagues remained here in the state of new york to provide the same pay windows for women a matter what happens on the national level. that is all in great, right, but then there's this idea of voting that we heard from some people as well on the ground. as you look ahead in midterm elections. do you think at this point, we are in may, the midterm elections happening in november, than enough eventually had to drive people to the polls?
12:09 pm
come november based solely on where we are with roe, once that decision comes down? >> look, i don't think the midterm elections are ever about one sole thing. i think the democrats have been working to create jobs, to make sure that we are building infrastructure, to support an economy that works for families, and this is part in parcel of that, frankly. i think defending your ability to choose when and how to start a family is a deeply personal, but also a fundamentally economic decision for many families. and democrats are on the right side of that. at american bridge we did a research project when the texas ban was put in place, that showed similarly to the reactions that reporters were talking about today, two thirds of people didn't think this was going to happen. because there is something deeply un-american about whirling back rights.
12:10 pm
a right that has been in place for 50 years, people are surprised. they are shocked. they are disappointed, and i think that they are right to be angry that their institutions availed them. but it is not their institutions. i think that it is really important to say that a body of five unelected, unaccountable judges, sure we can blame them. but it is really the republican politicians who all around the country have been working on this for years, and continue to do so. you are going to be talking about the pennsylvania governor toil race later in the hour. trump just endorsed doug mastery on. he wants to put in place a full abortion ban in pennsylvania. you've got matt deperno in the michigan ags rays who doesn't believe that we should have a national right to perth control. and when it comes to what we should be talking about in the midterms, i think the best people have laid out exactly how to talk about are the
12:11 pm
republicans themselves, when they sent around a memo saying don't talk about the fact that this is going to take away birth control rights. don't talk about how this is going to impact women's health in general, whether it is mammograms, other pre cancer screenings, basic rights to health care for women. and don't talk about the fact that these bands will end up with women, doctors, and their loved ones who try to help them get this care, punished. >> let me ask you this quickly, that one woman said in los angeles which was, apathy got us here. what is your reaction to that? >> i think that we are at a moment where typically the party in power loses in the midterms. and that cannot stand. that cannot stand for our democracy we have to push back on what is a deeply out of step and out of whack maga
12:12 pm
republican party, that has gone so far beyond what we have seen. the sentence against birth control, punishing women. you know if you're in texas right now and give us some, your republican leaders care more about punishing your son or helping him to get an abortion, for his girlfriend than they do about keeping the lights on. that is a fundamental issue that we should be talking about, over and over again. and people should be angry that their leaders have let them down. that democracy is not working, if democratically elected leaders are completely ignoring the will of the voters. and that is what we are seeing when you see these republican bands being pushed in state after state. and at the national level. >> i see what i see what you're you're talking about, the lack of fix when it comes to the energy grid in the state of talking about. texas right now about -- almost other after that complete blackout with almost complete blackout with people people without power, without heat without power, without heat, this is the, in the school this month the time coldest month of the in time in
12:13 pm
texas. texas. you had folks across the board suffering for days on end, you had folks if not weeks. suffering across the boards from days without power there. >> on, and if not the other priorities weeks. >> their priorities are are completely out of whack. why would we completely out of whack. why not at least try to do would we not at least try to do the basics of government, make sure the lights are the basics of on, make sure people government? have shelter make sure the lights are, on make sure people have shelter and heat and instead they are prioritizing, punishing women, punishing doctors, and bounties on people helping those women and doctors get the health care that they need. >> thank you. >> thanks so much for having. me >> coming up everybody, a battle over the party. it heats up in pennsylvania, with primary votes being cast in just days. former president trump weighing in with an endorsement today. -- another russian neighbor finally, up kremlin those retaliation. kremlin retaliation. but it's not just about savings.

12:18 pm
elephant in the room, 40 billion dollars being held up when it comes to the ukrainians, because of rand paul refusing to vote in favor of this to get them the supplies they need. what do you know when it comes to this meeting? >> it's money certainly the president zelenskyy is counting. on money that has been pledged. so much military aid that is already basically spending on the eastern front of this conflict that seems unrelenting. three civilians cleared killed today in -- this visit happens as it continued fighting, including this in mariupol. -- that is the backdrop to this meeting. you have to expect that that 40 billion dollar package that is now been held up was a topic of discussion in those closed-door meetings. what we see publicly, which are these very well rehearsed videos by president zelenskyy's office, and then these are
12:19 pm
closed-door meetings, where you have to expect that came up. -- the bureaucratic, washington issued, though that he acts has expressed concern about. the fighting continues, you have villages in and out of the kharkiv province -- you have this ambush reported by ukrainian forces. then you have the situation of the steel plant in mariupol. the turks today in meetings have said they have an evaluation plan for the people trapped in that plant. no response from russia. diplomatic meetings, will this become a regular stop for politicians in this region? >> let me ask you the scale. do recreating's on the ground feel as if americans are in it for the long haul? when it comes to aid for ukraine? depending on how long the singles? >> i think there is concern and suspicion of american foreign policy, because a change is on
12:20 pm
a. dime people here are well aware of. that president zelenskyy had infamous phone calls and meetings with president trump, that then became international scandals, that became an impeachment in the united states. people see this around the nuclear agreements around this policy of as an example of american full of policy changing on a. dime -- i don't think a american policy is gonna change as it relates to democracies around the world. but i think people do see that this state can be held up by american politics. they are aware. that president zelenskyy is reflective this when he says things like, i want world leaders to come here, not just with presents and cake, but with the actual pleasures of military aid and money. that's what we actually see. everyone expects this 40 billion dollar h package will eventually get through. it just seems to be politics. >> every day is. lidl every piece of material that they can get and help that they can get as vital because this war, people are losing their lives on a daily basis.
12:21 pm
it's always great to talk to my friend. i want to bring in former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, john -- thank you for joining us ambassador. we appreciate. it let's talk first about this meeting by mike, colin by collins, by other members of senate, visiting president zelenskyy in ukraine. what do you make of it? do you think, we think about rand paul holding up this vote for this 40 billion dollars a nate. -- do they understand that rand paul could be at times an outlier when it comes to this type of vote? is a real worry of the politicize a shun of the world like ukraine? >> it's great that mccaul ill and his republican colleagues are matching the pelosi visited a couple of weeks ago demonstrating strong bipartisan support for ukraine, and for american interests to help stop
12:22 pm
putin in ukraine. i think ukraine's expects that large aid package to pass, because it does have strong bipartisan and white house support. rand paul has a specific point which should not be ignored, having some sort of mechanism in place to watch where the eight. ghost if that's all it is, it's fine. if it's an effort to stop the aid, and that's wrong,. >> isn't there already a mechanism in place with rolling out this eight, that watch is where and how it's distributed? isn't that part of the package? >> there are mechanisms, but there were problems with the aids to iraq and afghanistan, we are very large amounts of aid were put into place. i don't have the specifics that had. i do believe people's who believe strongly in the aid working on the hill, that they have offered something to paul to eases concern. if it, does there is no problem. but if we're still talking about the mechanisms of this
12:23 pm
package three weeks from now, that's a serious problem. >> that's a serious problem. let's talk about finland and sweden, making it clear that they want to join nato. turkey has expressed opposition to them joining nato. however they have not necessarily closed-door as reported by reuters. in a call with reporters, -- said the topic will be discussed at the nato ministerial meeting over the weekend and berlin as foreign ministers from turkey, sweden and finland among others will be attending. i know secretary blinken has, well is actually meeting with nato investors today. how does turkey get on board? do you think this is a good move for both finland and sweden, especially that you hear moscow, putin specifically saying they'll be retaliation for move like this? >> i think this is a critical moment right now an international affairs. both sweden and finland have been neutral countries for many decades. the fact that they need nato now, they want nato, now demonstrates how dangerous
12:24 pm
putin's. people who are constantly apologizing for putin's aggression should understand this. but unfortunately they don't. as for turkey, obviously whatever one is doing is not productive, it's not helpful. but i also think this -- is open. meaning that he wants to bargain. if there is strong u.s. leadership dealing with the turks and others want to fuss about, this i have no doubt that finland and sweden will join the alliance. >> talk to us if you could about the advantages for both finland and sweden of joining nato, in addition to doubling the border with russia? >> it's there, it's a security problem that it shares a long border with an aggressive gremlin. finland has a modern, military, fully nato compatible, and they could give russians a bloody
12:25 pm
nose or more if moscow were to attack. it's not the same as having united states at your back. it's the same with sweden. that's why they want to join. but finland and sweden will also greatly -- up that there be no doubt, if putin were to succeed, with his subjugation of ukraine, with just elizabeth, to baltic states are next. >> let me ask you. this heat kind of threatens us retaliatory steps taken, if in fact finland and sweden sweden move to join nato. we have seen how the russian army has progressed, or the lack there off, i should, say in ukraine. not being able to necessarily take the regions in which they want to take. they've obviously come back from the capital city of kyiv after surrounding that city because they could not hold out that area. they are not being pushed out of kharkiv. the ukrainians have vowed they will not let up, a single piece of territory to moscow.
12:26 pm
with all that being said. do we really expect putin will move to take retell a tory steps towards finland and sweden? >> no. that's a very good question. putin does not have the military assets right now to go after finland or sweden for talking about joining nato. the russians are shut off electricity that they are supplying to southern finland as a response to the application for nato membership. >> all right ambassador, thank you so much. appreciate joining us today. coming up everybody, the baby formula shortage may last to the end of the year, even as the government tries to get through red tape. i'm gonna be joined by a mother in a plus a pediatrician on why homemade remedies can be dangerous for your baby. we'll be right back. emedies can be emedies can be dangerous for your tresemme. do it with style. we'll be right back.

across the country, more parents are we're faced forced to face their worst fears.
12:31 pm
>> how am i going to face feed my baby? >> a question you mom 70 jones never thought she. task >> idai are trying to everything your power to see where you can do and how you get the formula. >> as of this morning, a record 43% of popular baby formulas are out of stock, with major retailers putting limits on how much parents can buy. >> you know i have gone to pretty much every store, and called every store to search for it, and we can't find it anywhere. >> it is a parent's worst nightmare, and it is getting worse. this afternoon the chief executive of perry go,, one of the largest formula manufacturers in this country, told reuters that families should brace for the shortage to last through the rest of the year. that is catastrophic news for families that are already desperate to feed their kids. with few safe options left. with me now to talk about all of this is lindsey gil, a mother and founder of the network and dr. seuss at a yahoo chief of general pediatrics at the children's hospital montefiore. welcome to both of you ladies,
12:32 pm
thanks for joining us on. as linda let me start with you on this. you started the napa network during the pandemic, and that was a way to get supplies, especially new moms throughout the country. i know you've been working specifically now on the issue of baby formula for sometime. first question to you, did you see the shortage coming and what has it been like for you to get a hold of the formula? >> i started the knack in that network two years ago when the pandemic hit to provide free access to diapers, wipes, formula, every essentials that moms i knew could give him of the need. over the past two years, that is exactly what we've done. over the past couple of weeks, as i'm also now a mom and a four-month-old who is using formula, i became very aware of the formula shortage. we started seeing the formula for specialty formulas first being recalled, and i thought that not really affecting me but let's who's going on here. and then all the sudden there is no formula billable.
12:33 pm
so not only now is the founder of the organization trying to help moms in need, i've-ing effected two and we are seeing shelves that are completely bare. >> so do you have enough formulary now for your baby? >> i have enough for a little while. i have a mom and a sister who are looking out in our area, as well. but i just had a formula drive on friday in washington d.c.. we literally were giving out cans as people were dropping them off. trading when we had, what we were using, hey keep an eye out for this. things that weren't picked up yesterday, we are posting on social media. and they're being picked up in realtime. so the formula is being used, but it is parents, it is literally moms and dads and caregivers who are making it happen right now. >> doctor yeager, let's talk about some solutions for moms, our parents out there that are looking for formula. obviously there's kind of this blanket guidance when it comes to homemade formulas. don't do it. is there anything that one can do to bridge this gap?
12:34 pm
>> so thank you so much for having me, and thank you miss jill for what you are doing. to name a couple things can be done, it dominated pence on the name age of the baby. one is depending if you are able, and there's no medical contra indication, your baby could be breastfed. there are some families that unfortunately, moms have tried in their 90 able to bet breastfeed or the child may have a medical condition and therefore is not able to breastfeed. because we're also seeing that that is an option for some families to either feed their baby breast milk or donor milk from a human milking bank. we don't recommend, it is recommended that you do it from a bank therefore because they actually screen the milk it is being donated. so that is one option. the second is also talking to your pediatrician because depending on your child's unique nutritional needs, you may be able to switch between brands. and they can give you guidance about how to introduce differ brands of formula.
12:35 pm
again, that deposit your child, it depends on the net nutritional status of her child. if the child has specific means. because children who have alert allergies, or metabolic conditions, already conditions such as genetic conditions, they may need specialized formula. and that is something that needs to be managed by their doctor. >> yeah, i mean you bring up a really good point. my first baby had issues with jerry, when i was feeding formula. so i had to get nondairy formula, so that made it harder obviously defined for the former they needed. and so there may be a lot of women that are in that position that are seeking out a different type of formula that is making it even more difficult. it is not like you can just get anything that you need, when you want it. doctor dr. oyeku, i also wanted to ask about the hospitals. i remember when my first born was in the mix you, he immediately went on formula because it is really tiny. our hospitals dealing with shortages right now to?
12:36 pm
>> right now my hospital, moniker, we don't have a shortage of any formula. we've had several meetings to ensure that we have adequate supply. both in our inpatient unit as well as a neonatal icus. because we want to be in a position to take care of the sick children that do come to our hospitals. so currently many hospitals are doing that same assessment and inventory to ensure that they have sufficient supply for one babies, young children are being emitted, that we have a need, so we can actually get them back on the road. to heal. >> lindsey, you are in the thick of this. what do you think needs to happen? to fix this, and how terrifying is it to think of the prospect of, this isn't going to get fixed at least the end of the year? >> i think the timeline that we are hearing is very worrisome. he can thinking will surely it's going to get resolved soon, because this is the only way to feed our children. we can't give them water, you can get the milk, you can get the regular food. so this must be resolved quickly. but then we are hearing weeks, maybe to the summer, maybe to the end of the year. there's a real sense of panic. so if somebody wants to help, i
12:37 pm
don't know what to do, but what i am doing is i'm just collecting formula. if someone wants to donate, make a 25-dollar donation to the african network, we are overnighting formula that we have. it is really all that we can do is just to help another mom out. and so that is what i am doing. and if anybody wants to get involved, just falls on the napkin network. sun is the formula that you have, let us know if you are seeing a surplus somewhere. because they're making a 25 dollar donations we really just overnight those cans and get babies fed today. >> doctor let me just quickly ask you, the so i started getting my kids a little food mash-up pairs and mash-up avocado it for months. they were really eating at that point, it wasn't until six months seven months that they really started to kind of swallow. it but just to kind of get a taste it was out for months. >> can you don't compensate for a lack of formula. and i'd be totally off base here, but i'm just wondering for months out there. can you at all compensate by feeding your baby earlier with some foods, the nutritional
12:38 pm
compensation they are not necessarily getting if you are lauren formula? >> so i think it is an excellent question. so it is actually not i wouldn't say compensating. i think the main thing is that we normally introduce complimentary food, as you mentioned, as early as four months. and that is typically initially like rice, cereals, maybe a little bit of vegetables. as children begin, that is part of the normal developmental process. as they begin to eat more solid food, their milk intake is going to go down. so we do notice, depending if your child is in that 4 to 6 month age range, you may already start to introduce the complimentary foods. again it depends on the child's developmental milestones. because the child has to be able to have their head up great, they need to be able to have that motor coordination to ensure that they're able to swallow appropriately. so definitely that is something to discuss with a pediatrician. but if developmentally they are at a place where they can do, it then that is an option for families. so being able to introduce this
12:39 pm
complimentary foods, definitely between 4 to 6 months of age. so that is a vital option for families. >> doctor dr. oyeku, lindsey thank you. and congratulations on that new baby of. yards >> congratulations to you. thank you. >> new developments in the fight against sudden and vent death syndrome. an australian study may have identified the cause. researchers are saying babies who die of sadat syndrome have lower levels of an enzyme that really plays a role in the brains arousal pathway. the work shows that it may reduce and infants ability to wake or response she such things as overheating or a blanket of their face. researchers now hoping that there will be used to develop screening protocols for babies at risk. i'm developing sids. will gonna be right back to with developments on a mass shooting in buffalo new york. the shooter is in custody. stay with usbuffalo new york stay with usbuffalo new york the shooter is in

topic of discussion as we barreled towards the next major primary in pennsylvania. this morning, in the governor's race, former president trump throwing him support the hind far right gop candidate doug mastriano, matches to grin of -- meanwhile wild card kathy burnett seems to be gaining traction in her bit -- the gop that'll feel this so just throwing to that the philadelphia inquirer has refused to back any candidates in the primary. -- and msnbc political analyst. also with us is daniel moody -- welcome ladies.
12:49 pm
thanks for joining us. let me start with you on this one susan, talk to me about how much, we talk about the litmus test, we saw happen in ohio, we saw the power it seemed before the power the it seems the former president had. -- you got oz, then you have this outlier candidate mastriano, being endorsed by the former president for governor. -- >> it is going to be significant. we know donald trump's endorsement doesn't matter. in primaries, at least where there is no incumbent. i'm looking at on tuesday at idaho, where there is an incumbent governor running against a trump backed candidate, who happens to be the current governor. what's interesting about pennsylvania's, that's one of the states that donald trump, in 2016, and again in 2020,
12:50 pm
would i call mine voters. they found people who typically did not vote and either party, and they register to vote for donald trump. in a state like pennsylvania, a trump endorsement can mean quite a bit. plus, we know that trump endorsing -- the media attention will matter. the undecideds have been very high in both republican primaries. boy let me just say yasmin, i do feel for the philadelphia inquirer. i've been feeling that way about the republican party for a very long. time i can support it the way it is. this >> danielle, tell us talk to me about kathy burnett. a lot of folks are concerned about her search, especially within the republican party. this far right candidate running up against men at odds. also somebody who's problematic. -- islamophobic. that's putting it lightly.
12:51 pm
i know our -- interviewed her and confronted her with the tweets that she is denied that they were her. but they have been attributed to. what do you make of that? >> i make of the fact that republicans love to support people who are xenophobic, racist, misogynistic and increasingly more draconian in the policies that they offer. it's funny to me, that you could see kathy burnett and say, oh my gosh she's two right-wing, meanwhile you support donald trump, the man that talked about grabbing a woman. i don't understand. what's crazy? he was just the right kind of crazy in the republican party? it's kind of a toss-up. i think that people like kathy burnett. they like the folks donald trump are endorsing. they are dangerous to this country because of the way in which they are increasingly, their desire, to not only drag us back in time in terms of civil rights and protection but to also add threatening
12:52 pm
language to these policies to punish people they are a party that is about punishment. ruling by fear and threats. i think that is something that democrats need to lift up. >> well daniel makes a really good point susan. i wonder if the republicans in the state of pennsylvania are just reaping what they have sown. so many republicans refused to speak out when it comes to january six. even on the day of the january 6th, when -- stood on the floor and said this is wrong. the former president should be held accountable. they made an about about that. they have walked further in for the right. now they are worried that far-right candidates are gaining ground, some of the which are being ignorance by the former president and could very well win. >> they could very well run a primary. let's not forget pennsylvania, for example, still has not elected a democratic governor
12:53 pm
in the last go around. it's far from a red state. there is a chance for the democrats to seize control of this race, especially when you start thinking about how right-wing the candidates are. that's actually to the democrats benefit i believe. no one wants an absolutely crazy. there's there's something looking at the economy, when you start looking at suburban women, they are going back to the republicans, but you start seeing the roe v. wade issue and these extreme candidates, that's a under no circumstances to the woman, including rape and incest, should be allowed to have an abortion, that's extreme. that's not gonna play in the general election for republicans, where the type of republicans they're looking to elect. >> as you talk quickly about the democratic strategy danielle. that it seems the president now is taking aim as the ultra maga candidates heading towards the midterms. good move? >> it's a move that should have been made a year ago. but yes, it's a good move.
12:54 pm
these people are dangerous. we cannot continue to refer to republicans across the aisle as our quote unquote friends, which this president has done on the number of occasions, and not set off the alarms that how dangerous they are. and what it is that their plans are for a white, evangelical, christians, fascist state in this country. it is important for him to be raising this alarm. >> thank you guys. i appreciate. it i want to get back to that breaking news out of buffalo, new york. police now confirming seven people are in fact debt. one other person is in critical condition.
